Holmes Public Library “Monday night Madness” summer reading program ended on a slithery note with Museum of Science traveling reptile education and presentation by Kim Cooper- Vernon Education Associate.
Herpetologists for a night, the children and parents watched as Cooper-Vernon spoke and presented the reptiles to the classroom. With a white board she also talked about what makes a reptile and how to recognize these creatures.
One child shouted ‘Godzilla is a reptile’ when asked who knows what a reptile is? The night was silly, slithery and appeared to be a hit as there were no empty seats to be had.
Some of the children made silly faces as the animals appeared as did the parents.
Cooper-Vernon talked about Sinaloan Milksnakes and their habitats.
The Sinaloan Milksnake was a clinging creature but by the faces in the audience not everyone likes snakes.
Murdock really enjoyed seeing his reflection in the cage and on the animal cam, which gave kids a closer look at the animal’s features.
Lux the Spotted Gecko got a view of the room from his cage.
